Days can Run Away from Us

Have you lately been wondering where all  the days have gone? All of a sudden it is May 14 and you look back over your week and go "wow, when I turned around it was only Monday." Well, my week ran away from me. It seems the busier, with life, I am the quicker it scampers. The children at the condos had a chance for a beautiful day to chalk the sidewalks - it was a pleasant surprise early Monday morning. In a nutshell my week was:

5 full days of working at the job, Monday through Friday
1 business lunch with co-workers, Monday

2 tennis events, Monday and Thursday (sorry Barbara, I didn't tell you I was gonna use your photo)

1 cardio 45 minute stationary bike ride, Wednesday

2 workouts with trainers, Tuesday and Thursday

1 Virtual Board Meeting - preparing materials and taking minutes, Friday
And mindless TV (hello, Ghost Adventures, Survivor, Tennis Channel, Big Bang Theory)....

so far so good .... and then........  the siding to the condo was coming down and eventually going up.... some things falling off the walls while they hammered and  took old siding down and the Tyvec wrapping around

My once attractive patio, thank you very much, ended up in my dining and living room (remember I am trying to clean stuff out).... yes, photos say it better than anything.....

And finally, found out that a close co-worker was diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer last week.  Good thing, they found it early in a mammogram, the lump is smaller than mine was, and it looks like her treatment will be exactly like mine. She contacted the same physician practice I used. I know she will be fine and I am trying to share with her all of my experiences and how absolutely (as shocking as this may sound but some of you were with me the whole time) easy it was to walk the path with friends, God, and family.

OK, I digressed but must have needed to share that with you. I don't like to do a blog post without showing you some of my art work, or a project I am working on, or something I have done in the past. So, while I am still trying to clean out the unnecessary in my life and condo, I am not creating art work. Last year I accomplished a feat I am proud of --26 ATC cards based on the alphabet. Those who have been long time followers of this blog, remember that venture from A to Z.

I will leave you tonight with my Z as my eyes are getting sleepy.... yawn....(and yes reruns of Ghost Adventures are on....)

Will be back soon, my honeysuckle peeps, thanks for hanging in there with me while I do my spring cleaning!
